The long search for justice after the huge explosion at Beirut's port in August last year, killing at least 218 people, is still ongoing.

It was thwarted again this week when the judge investigating the blast, Tarek Bitar, was suspended after a former minister wanted for questioning as part of the inquiry accused him of bias. The families of those who died were furious, holding a rally in the city to show their support for the suspended justice.

Paul Naggear's three-year-old daughter Alexandra was killed by the explosion. He gave Newshour's James Menendez his reaction to Judge Bitar's suspension.
